Supreme Court of Delaware

Prince v. Synoski Real Estate Management, LLC

September 4, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the jury’s verdict for the landlord and property manager. It held that any error in the negligence-per-se instruction was harmless because the jury found no negligence by either defendant and therefore never reached the plaintiff’s negligence. It also held that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying a for-cause challenge to a prospective juror who worked at the same school as a defendant’s principal.
